I continue to paint the world around me as beautifully as I can. I am compelled to paint subject matter that vanishes rapidly, whether it is a ripe pear, the changing seasons, or dusk and dawn. My work also reflects my day-to-day life. My family life, my neighbors and friends in their intimate surroundings are a great source of inspiration. My greatest pleasure is to work from life trying to recreate on canvas the images I see. Every time I turn my head, whether in the studio, in my backyard, or walking down the street, I see another picture I want to capture. I am interested in light, form, and color as a vehicle to create a certain atmosphere in my paintings. I am constantly taking drawing and painting classes and workshops in order to improve my skills and keep in touch with other artists with the same goals.
